SAVED BY THE BELLS SCREECH DEBUTS
STAND-UP ACT

SAN DIEGO (Wireless Flash - FlashNews)  Actor Dustin Diamond is
best known for playing Screech on Saved By The Bell, but
now hes trying his luck at stand-up comedy.

Diamond will be making his debut tonight (Mar. 6) at the San
Diego Improv comedy club using the name of Screech
Powers.

He admits he has a fear of being typecast as
Screech, but he says the character has let him dabble
in slapstick and physical comedy. Now he hopes his new stand-up
act will show another side to his comic persona.

Diamonds big dream is to star in a live-action version
of Scooby Doo that would feature him as Shaggy. He
figures hed be a perfect choice for the cartoon hippie and
hopes he can convince Hanna-Barbera bigwigs to develop the film
project.

In addition, hes also hoping to get his funk-thrash
band, Mushpot, signed to a record label.
